Dam dude. I will exit this ama promptly upon your recommendation. I came here thinking "man that's fugged up". Just goes to show there is always a story behind the story.

Who was the PhD you did?

I imagine losing your sense of smell would be very disheartening in the motor sports world. I worked as a crew chief on fighter jets, and I very quickly fell in love with the smell of fuel, running engines, burnt tires, and just maintenance in general. I guess what I am trying to ask is, have you noticed or replaced some sensations for others, or fallen in love with some aspect of your job that you previously took for granted?

Wow. I'm embarrassed to admit I'm not totally caught up on that whole situation, so all this time I thought Chelsea Manning and Bradley Manning were two different people. I thought maybe Chelsea was his wife and they were both convicted. How did I miss something like that?

That's awesome man. The vibrations in the air, and the feeling of just being near one of those beasts never gets old. Now matter how many times I felt an engine fire up, I always felt like a kid at an airshow. I imagine that it's the same feeling for you too. Reading this whole ama has put me in a good mood this morning. To see first hand how someone is living their dream, regardless of the cards they were dealt, has really put some things into perspective for me. You're awesome. Thank you.
